Thanks for that Guillaume,
Does Xwiki support fixed categories or metadata that can be assigned to pages?
I suppose I was looking at more along the lines of classifing content as it's created by assigning pages with categories/tags within a fixed taxonomy that the user can't change or add to.
This content does not necessary have to live in a fixed structure, just classified. i.e. a department may manage their own space and how it's arranged, create and delete pages as required, but the content needs to be classified against our taxonomy.
XWiki is completely flexible and you can add as many metadata you want to a wiki page. We call them Objects. You can even define your own Object types to define your own taxonomy. We also have a lightweight taxonomy with Tags (which are a predefined Object type).

G'day one and all,
I'm looking at using xwiki for our intranet and was wondering how existing taxonomies can be implemented/imported into xwiki
XWiki offers parent-child relationships between pages and it has "spaces", which mean you can group pages together. A typical XWiki taxonomy would look like this:
- Main homepage (Main.WebHome) - Space A homepage (SpaceA.WebHome) - child page 1 - child page 2 - child 1 of child page 2 - child 1 of child 1 of child page 2 - Space B homepage (SpaceB.WebHome) - child page 1
As for importing them into XWiki, I guess it depends on how your taxonomies are currently represented. If they are stored in XML documents, you might want to try creating XWiki documents out of them and use the <parent> field to represent the taxonomy.
Guillaume
